The Republic of Universal State Formula is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.269 billion citizens of Universal State Formula are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City Prime. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Universal State Formula economy, worth 835 trillion Standard Monetary Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 368,050 Standard Monetary Units, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,373,007 per year while the poor average 69,174, a ratio of 19.8 to 1.

All citizens are solely referenced by their allocated identity number, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, the nation is noticeably more cheerful on Tuesdays, and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime is totally unknown. Universal State Formula's national animal is the Leviathan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Universal State Formula is ranked 107,191^st in the world and 5,393^rd in The North Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 44.51 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
